Make your home look classy and sophisticated by adding an unconventional new addition. Perhaps you can add built-ins, a wine cellar or a library. Not only will your guests be impressed, but it will be a good selling point in the future.

If your roof has developed cracks, use aluminum tape to repair the cracks. Remove the paper backing, then apply the sticky side to a very clean surface. This will help cover those cracks and keep water out.

It is extremely important to change your air filters. It makes it easier to breathe in your home and also helps with the air conditioning and heating. Many service calls are placed each year because of dirty filters.

Thoroughly dust your home at least one time every week. Dust contains allergens which can aggravate allergies. Cleaning not only rids your surfaces of dust, but it helps to keep pests like spiders, fleas and ants in check.

Don’t waste money on renovations which just don’t fit in. Avoid nonsensical or questionable improvements like leaving a sun room in a cold climate uninsulated. This will make your home much more difficult to sell. Only renovate in a fashion that matches your climate and works for a variety of tastes and styles.

Put a shot into that vinyl flooring bubble. If this problem is visible in your home, you can cut it and get rid of the problem. This will make the bubble flat. After this you need to insert some glue to keep the floor sealed. A glue-filled syringe will make the job easy.

Have you tried everything to fix your squeaky door? If so, then you might need another door hinge. You can usually get one at a local hardware store. Simply disassemble the hinge and attach each side of it to the door and wall frame. The final step is to align the hinges so that you can change the pins.

You should invest in a good 9 volts cordless drill with different drill bits as well as attachments for Phillips and flat-head screws.
